I
OLD ENEMIES MEET
Film Brought Together Ex-Confederate
and Federal.
After Fifty-one Years They Have Op
portunity to Exchange Remlnle
oeneea at Outdoor Studio
at Loa Angelea, Cal.
Fifty-one years ago, or In 1863, a
Confederate scout lay all day In a
hallow creek watching the Union
lines. A Yankee sentinel watched
him, and was prepared to shoot If the
Confederate moved. A meeting that
vividly brought back the thrilling days
of the Civil war, and particularly this
Hair-raising Incident, when they were
enemies and fought each other for the
glory of the blue or the gray, occurred
several daya ago, when Scout W. H.
Taylor and Sentinel D. R. Crane ree-
. ognized each other on a mimic battle
field at a film manufacturing com
pany's ranch near Los Angeles, CaL
At their meeting In that memorable
second year of the war, Taylor, a Con
federate scout, was following the
Union lines in retreat from Pine Run,
,Va., after an attempt to reach Rich'
mond and defeat by General Lee.
Taylor, seeking information, started to
cross a creek, but seeing Union sent!'
. nels on the bank hid all day In the
, shallow water, waiting for night He
linally escaped with such Information
as be could gather. Crane, a se.ntluel
In the Union army, patrolled the bank
all day, waiting for sight of and a
Ebot at the scout
At the recent meeting the two vet
erans went over the details of the day
' and the battles that followed. Both
. men were weary and sunburned; they
hid been living over again some of
the battles they had been In years be
fore. These battles were to be a part
or one of the great photo play war
dramas. And the surprising feature
of the meeting was that It was not
the first mimic battle tbey had been
in; both had been -working for the
same company for 12 months and had
never met

CHAPTER XIII Continued.
Ha he given upT" asked Abbott
his voice strangely unfamiliar In his
own ear:
A man can struggle Just so long
against odds, then he wins or becomes
broken. Women are not Idglcal; gen
erally they permit themselves to be
guided by Impulse rather than by rea
son. This man I am telling you about
wae proud; perhaps too proud. It Is
shameful .act, but be ran away.
True, he wrote letter after letter, but
all theae were returned unopened.
Then he atopped."
A woman would a good deal rather
believe circumstantial evidence than
not Humph!" The colonel primed
his pipe and relighted It "She couldn't
have been worth much."
Worth much!" cried Abbott. "What
do yon Imply by that?"
'No man will really give up a
woman who Is r tally worth while, that
la, of course, admitting that your man,
Courtlandt la a man. Perhaps, though,
It was. his fault He waa not persistent
enough, maybe a bit spineless. The
tact that be gave up so quickly pos
sibly convinced her that ber Impres
sions were correct Why, I'd have
followed ber day in and day out year
after year; never would I have let up
until I bad proved to ber that she had
been wrong."
me colonel la right Abbott ap
proved, never taking bis eyes off Court
landt who was apparently absorbed In
the contemplation of the bread crumbs
Under his fingers.
"And more, by hook or crook, I'd
have dragged In the other woman by
the hair and made her confess."
I do not doubt It colonel " re
sponded Courtlandt with a dry laugh.
And that would really have been the
end of the story. The heroine of this
rambling tale would then have been
absolutely certain of collusion be
tween the two."
"That la like woman," the Barone
agreed, and he knew something about
them. "And where Is this man now?"
"Here," said Courtlandt pushing
back bis chair and rising. "I am he,
He turned his back upon tbem and
sought the garden.

"Dash me!" cried the colonel, who.
Doing the least Interested personally,
waa first to recover his speech.
The Barone drew In hta breath
sharply. Then he looked at Abbott
1 suspected It" replied Abbott to
the mute question. Since the episode
et last night bis philosophical outlook
had broadened. He bad lost Nors.
but had come out of the agony of love
refused to fuller manhood. As long
as he lived he was certain that the
petty affairs of the day were never
again going to disturb blm.
"Let blm be." waa the colonel's sug
gestion, adding a gesture In the direc
tion of the Casement door through
which Courtlandt bad gone. "He's as
big a man as Nora la a woman. If be
baa returned with the determination of
winning her, he will."
They did not aee Courtlandt again.
After a few minutes of restless to-and-frolng,
be proceeded down to the land
ing, helped himself to the colonel's
motor-boat and returned to Bellagglo,
At the hotel he asked tor the duke,
only to be told that the duke and
madams had left that morning for
Paris. Courtlandt saw that he had
permitted one great opportunity to slip
past He gave up the battle. One
more good look at her, and he would
go away. The odds had beon too
strong for blm, and he knew tbat be
was broken.
When the motor-boat came back, Ab
bott and the baron made use of It also,
Tbey crossed In alienee, heavy-hearted,
On landing Abbott said: "It Is
probable tbat I shall not aee you again
this year. I am leaving tomorrow for
Tarts. It's a great world, lsa't It where
they toss us around like dice? Some
throw alxes and others deuces. And In
this game you and I have lost two out
of three."
"I shall return to Rome," replied the
Barone. "My long leave of absence Is
near Its end."
"What In the world can have hap
pened V demanded Nora, ahowlng the
two notes to Celeste. "Here's Donald
going to Parts tomorrow and the Bar
one to Rome. Tbey will bid ua good
by at tea. I don't understand. Don
ald was to remain until we left for
America, and the Barone't leave does
not end until October."
"Tomorrow?" dim-eyed. Celeste re
turned the notes.
"Yes. You play the fourth ballade
and I'll sing from Madame. It will be
very lonesome without tbem." Nora
gased Into the wall mirror and gave
pat or two to ber balr.

When the men arrived. It waa Im
pressed on Nora's mind that never had
she seen them so amiable toward each
other. They were positively friendly.
And why not? The test of the morn
ing bad proved each of them to his
own Individual satisfaction, and had
done away with those stilted manner
terns tbat generally make rivals ridicu
lous In all eyes save their own. The
revelation at luncheon had convinced
them of the futility of things In gen
eral and of woman In particular. Tbey
were, without being aware of the fact,
each a consolation to the other. The
old adage that misery loves company
was never more nicely typified.
If Celeste expected Nora to exhibit
any signs of distress over the ap
proaching departure, she was disap
pointed. In truth, Nora waa secretly
pleoned to be rid of these two suitors,
mucn as she liked them. The Barone
had not yet proposed, and his sudden
determination to return to Rome elimi
nated this disagreeable possibility.
Sho was glad Abbott was going be
cause she had hurt him without inten
tion, and the Bight of htm was, In spite
of her Innocence, a constant reproach.
rresently ahe would have her work.
and there would be no time for loneli
ness.
The person who suffered keenest
was Celeste. She was awake: the ten
der little dream was gone; and bravely
sne accepted the fact Nevor her agile
Angers stumbled, and she played re
marknbly well, from Beethoven,
Chopin. Grieg. Ilublnsteln. MacDowell.
And Nora, perversely enough, sang
from old light opera.
When the two men departed. Celeste
went to her room and Nora out upon
the terrace. It was after Ave. No one
was about, so far as she could see.
She stood enchanted over the trans
formation that was affecting the moun
tains and the lakes. How ahe loved
the spot! How she would have liked
to spend the rest of her days here!
And how beautiful all the world was
today!
She gave a frightened little scream.
A strong pair of arms bad encircled
her. She started to cry out again, but
tno sound waa muffled and blotted out
by the pressure of a man'a lips upon
her own. She struggled violently, and
suddenly was freed.
If I were a man," she said, "you
should die for that!"
It was an opportunity not to be
ignored," returned Courtlandt "It Is
true tbat I waa a foot to run away as
I did, but my return bas convinced me
that I should have been aa much a fool
had I remained to tag you about beg
ging for an Interview. I wrote you
lettera. You returned tbem unopened.
You have condemned me without a
bearing. So be It You may consider
that kiss tho farewell appearance so
dear to the operatic heart," bitterly.
He addressed most of this to the
back of her head, for she was already
walking toward the villa into -Which
she disappeared with the proud air of
eome queen of tragedy. She waa a
capital actress.
A heavy band fell upon Court-
landt'a shoulder. He waa Irresistibly
drawn right about face. .
"Now, then. Mr. Courtlandt" said
Harrlgan, bis eyes blue and cold as
Ice, "perhapa you will explain?"
With rage and despair In his heart
Courtlandt flung off the hand and an
swered: "I refuse!"
Ah!" Harrlgan stood oft a few ateps
and ran bla glance critically up and
down this man of whom be bad
thought to make a friend. "You're a
husky lad. There's one way out of
this for you."
"So long aa It doea not necessitate
any explanations," Indifferently.
In the bottom of one of Nora's
trunks la a aet of my old gloves. There
will not be anyone up at tbe tennis
court this time of day. If you are not
a mean cusa, If you are not an ordinary
low-down Imitation of a man, you'll
meet me up. there Inside of Ave min
utes. If you can stand up In front of
ma for ten minutes, you need not
make any explanations. On the other
hand, you'll hike out of here aa fast
aa boats and trains can take you. And
never come back."
"I am nearly twenty years younger
than you, Mr. Harrlgan."
"Oh, don't let that worry you any,
with a truculent laugh.
"Very well. You will And me there.
After all, you are ber father."
"You bet I am!"
Harrlgan stole Into his daughter's
room and soundlessly bored Into the
bottom of the trunk that contained tbe
relics of past glory. As he pulled them
forth, a folded oblong strip of parch
ment came out with them and flut
tered to the floor; but he was too
busily engaged to notice It nor would
he have bothered If he had. The bot
tom of the trunk was littered with old
lettera and programs and operatic
scores. He wrspped the gloves In a
newspaper and got away without be
ing seen. He wss aa happy aa a boy
who had discovered sn opening In tbe
fence between blm and tho apple or
chard. He was rather astonished to
see Courtlandt kneeling In the clover
patch, bunting for a four-leaf clover.
It waa patent that the young man was
not troubled with nerves.
"Horet" he cried, brusquely, tossing
over a pair of gloves. "If this method
of settling the dlepute Isn't satisfac
tory, I'll acrept your exptanatlona,
For reply Courtlandt stood up and
stripped to his undershirt He drew
on the gloves and laced them with
tbe aid of his teeth. Then he kneaded
tbem carefully. The two men eyed
each other a little more respectfully
tbsn tbey bsd ever done before.
"This single court Is about as near
aa we can make It The man who
steps outside la whipped."
"I agree," aald Courtlandt
"No rounds with rests; until one or
tbe other Is outside. Clean breaks,
That's about all. Now, put up your
dukes and take a man's licking. I
thought you were your father's son,
but I guess you are like the rest of
'em, hunters of women."
Courtlandt laughed and stepped to
the middle of tbe court Harrlgan did
not waste any time. He sent In a
straight jab to the Jaw, but Court
landt blocked It neatly and countered
with a hard one on Harrlgan's ear,
which began to swell.
"Fine!" growled Harrlgan. "You
know something about the game. It
won't be as If I was walloping a baby."
He sent a left to the body, but the
right failed to reach his man.
For some time Harrlgan Jabbed and
swung and uppercut; often he reached
his opponent's body, but never his
face. It worried him a little to And
that he could not stir Courtlandt more
than two or three -feet. Courtlandt
nevor followed up any advantage, thus
making Harrlgan force the fighting,
which waa rather to hie liking. But
presently It began to enter his mind
convincingly that apart from the in
itial blow, the younger man was work
ing wholly on the defensive. As If be
were afraid he might hurt him! This
served to make the old fellow furious.
He bored In right and left, left and
right and Courtlandt gave way, step
by step until be waa so close to the
line that he could see It from the cor
ner of bis eye. This glance, swift
as It was, came near to being hta undo
ing. Harrlgan caught blm with a ter
rible right on the Jaw. It was a glanc
ing blow, otherwise the Aght would
have ended then and there. Instantly
he lurched forward and clinched bo
fore the other could add the AntBblng
touch.
. The two pushed about, Harrlgan
Aercely striving to break the younger
man's hqld. He ' waa beginning to
breathe bard besld.es. A little longer,
and his blows would laok the proper
steam. Finally Courtlandt broke away
of bis own accord. His bead buzzed
a little, but aside from that he bad
recovered. Harrlgan pursued his tac
tics and rushed. But this time there
was an offensive return. Courtlandt
became the aggressor. There was no
withstanding him. And Harrlgan
fairly saw the end; but with that In
domitable pluck which had made blm
famous In the annals of the ring, he
kept banging away. The swift cruel
Jabs here and there upon bla body
began to tell. Oh, for a minute's rest
and a piece of lemon on his parched
tongue! Suddenly Courtlandt rushed
him tlgcrluhly, landing a Jab which
closed Harrlgan's right eye. Court
landt dropped his hands, and atepped
back. His glance traveled suggest
ively to Harrlgan'a feet He was out
side the "ropes."
I beg your pardon, Mr. Harrlgan,
for losing my temper."
What's the odds? I lost mine. You
win." Harrlgnn was a true sportsman
He bad no excuses to offer. He bad
dug the pit of humiliation with his
own bands. He recognized this as one
of two facts. The other was, that bad
Courtlandt extended himself, the battle
would have lasted about one minute,
It was gall and wormwood, but there
you were.
"And now, you ask for explanations,
Ask your daughter to make them."
Courtlandt pulled off the gloves and
got Into his clothes. "You may add,
sir, that I shall never trouble her
again with my unwelcome attentlona.
I leave for Milan In the morning,
Courtlandt left tbe Aeld of victory
without further comment
"Well, what do you think or that?"
mused Harrlgan, as he stooped over
to gather up tbe giovea. "Any one
would say tbat ha waa the Injured
party. I'm In wrong on thia deal
somewhere. I'll ask Miss Nora a ques
tion or two."
It waa not ao easy returning. He
ran Into bis wife. He tried to dodge
ber, but without success.
"James, where did you get that
black eye?" tragically.
"It's a daisy, ain't It Molly?" push
ing past her Into Nora's room and clos
ing tbe door after him.
"Father!"
"That you. Nora?" blinking.
"Father, If you have been fighting
with him, I'll never forgive you."
"Forget it Nora. I wasn't fighting.
I only thought I was."
He raised the lid of the trunk and
cast In tbe giovea haphazard. And
then be aaw the paper which had
fallen out He picked up and squint
ed at It for be could not aee very
well Nora was leaving the room In
a temper.
"Going, Nora?"
"I am. And I advise you to have

NO LONGER ROMANTIC
ALL 13 SORDID IN THE REAR OP
A FIGHTING ARMY.
How It Looked, Told by a Writer;
How It Felt, aa Described by One
Who Had Been Through
It All.
Soon we were near the battle. In
the east, across tho vast level coun
try, a faint gray light appeared. The
noblo alamo trees, towering thickly
In muasy lines along the ditches to the
west, burst into showers of bird-songs.
It was getting warm, continued John
Itcod, In the Metropolitan, and thore
came the tranquil smell of earth and
grass and growing corn a calm sum
mer dawn. Into this the noise of bat
tle broke like something InBune. The
hysterical clattor ot rifle fire, that
seemed to carry a continuous under
tone of screaming although when
you listened for It, it was gone; the
nervous, deadly Btab stab stab of
the machine guns, like some glgantlo
woodpecker; the cannon booming like
great bells, and the whistle ot their
shells; boom pl-l-l-e-e-a-uuu! And
that most terrible of all sounds ot
war, shrapnel exploding: Crash
whue-e-caaa!
The shooting never ceased, but It
seemed to be Bubdued to its subordi
nate place in a funtastlo and disor
dered world. Up the track In the hot
morning light staggered a river ot
wounded men, shattered, bleeding,
bound up in rotting and bloody band
ages, inconceivably weary. They
passed us, and one even full and lay
niottouiess near by In the dust and
we didn't care. Soldlurs with their
cartridges gone wandered aimlessly
out of the chaparral, dragging their
rilles, and phinged Into the brush
again on the other Bide ot tho rail
road, bluck with powder, streaked
with sweat, their eyes vacantly on the
ground. The thin rubtle diint rose In
lazy clouds at every footstep, aud
hung there, parching throat and eyes.
A little company of horsemen Jogged
out ot the thicket and drew up on tbe
track, looking toward town. One man
got down from the saddle and squatted
beside us.
"It was terrlblo," he said suddenly.
"Carramba! We went in there last
night on foot. They were InBldo the
water tank, with holes cut In the Iron
for rifles. We had to walk up and
poke our guns through the holes, and
we killed them ull a death trap! And
then the corral! They had two aeta
of loopholes, one for the men kneeling
down and the other for the men stand
ing up.Three thousand rurales In there
and they bad Ave machine guna to
sweep the road. And the roundhouse
with three rows ot trenches outside
and subterranean passages so they
could crawl under and shoot us ln
the back. . . Our bombs wouldn't
work, and what could we do with
rifles? Msdre de Dins! But we were
so quick we took them by surprise.
We captured the roundhouse and tho
water tank. And then this morning
thousands came thousands rein
forcements from Torreon and their
artillery and they drove us back
again. Tbey walked up to tbe wator
tank and poked their rifles through
the bolos aud killed all ot us tbe
sons ot devils!"
We could see the place aa he spoko
and hear the hellish roar and ahrlek,
and yet no one moved, and there
wasn't a sign of the shooting not a
puff of smoke, except wben a shrap
nel ahell burst yelling down In tho
first row of trees a mile ahead and
vomited a puff of white. Tbe crack
ling tip ot rifle fire and tbe atuccato
machine guna and even the hammer
ing cannon didn't reveal themselves at
all. The first dusty plain, the trees
end chimneys of Gomez, and the atony
hill, lay quietly In the heat From tbo
alamos off the right camo the careless
song of birds. One bad the Impres
sion that his senses were lying. It
was an Incrcdlblo dream, though
